Montury Blasts Out of the Gates
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Amina Benkirane raised it up from under the gun and found callers in start-of-the-day chipleader Kamel Atoui in late position and Jean Montury in the small blind. Picking up the action on a 
turn, it was Atoui who bet 6,000. Montury check-raised to 20,000, Benkirane shoved for 32,000, Atoui called, and Montury could only overcall despite wanting to shove himself.
The 
completed the board and now Montury could shove for 53,000. Atoui snap-called the shove.
Jean Montury: 
Amina Benkirane: 
Kamel Atoui: 
It was a dream situation for Montury, who held the nut straight against the two lesser straights to soar to 200,000.
